Magic - The card Game

This morning I asked Colin what was his favorite part of camp was, and he said "Magic!", which is a card game he plays with his friend, who is THIRTEEN. His friend is going to bring his burn deck and his green deck today, evidently. But stable management came out as his overall favorite thing about the summer, so I would venture to say that he had a good time over his two weeks of learning how to ride.
Thirty more minutes until I do the drive yet again to see the kids in their little horse show. We have about 110 pictures available on the camera so that should be adequate for both kids! Ralph is driving up to see them, too, which is so nice. Last night was a bit of a mixed night, between eating and doing laundry so Ayla's special favorite OMG I need to wear these on the first day of school pants would be ready to wear for today and getting Ayla to put away her clothes (folding means rolling and putting away means shoving and piling, just for reference) and then chatting about next week and the weekend and then getting ready for bed. I had to laugh when I told her to go and shower and she asked if she could shower in the morning. I had told her no earlier in the week because from a time perspective it is disruptive for Ralph and I trying to also get ready and out the door. And then came the long, drawn out: Pleeeeaaaase? So I laughed. I asked how, how, how, after saying no, did she fundamentally beleive that a long, drawn out "please" would make me change my mind. I laughed and laughed. She got up and went to shower. Yet another reason why I have none of my own, my humor is lost on them.
